3. Henry TIBBETTS (1.Rebecca1) was born Abt 1693; died 16 Jan 1765.
Notes:
Henry's will at Warwick was dated 30 Dec 1764, proved 28 Jan 1765 or 2 Feb 1765. He mentions sons Henry, Charles, and Waterman, and daughter Phebe. In November 1764, both Charles and Elizabeth Tibbetts died. It is not clear whether these were Henry's children or grandchildren. Henry himself died not long after they did. Capt. Samuel Tillinghast of Warwick recorded these deaths in his diary. The entry for 17 Jan 1765 reads, "Last night died Henry Tibbits, Who has been Long Ill with Many disorders. This is the third out of this Famely in about two months." Editor Cherry Fletcher Bamberg tells us that "John Gorton preached at the funerals of Charles and Elizabeth Tibbits on 16 Nov. 1764 and then at Henry Tibbits' funeral on 18 Jan. 1765." According to "John Gorton's Papers," Elder Gorton's text at Henry's funeral was Isaiah 55:3.
Cherry Fletcher Bamberg's book entitled "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, Rhode Island" says that Henry was the second son of his father Henry. It reports that he joined the Six-Principle Church of East Greenwich on 19 August 1754, and records that he contributed to repair the meetinghouse in 1763.
Henry was under 21 in 1708 when he was mentioned in his grandfather's will (NK 5:139 - 142). Some records say that he died 17 Jan 1765, but Capt. Samuel Tillinghast's Diary says the 16th.Henry married Phebe WATERMAN 23 Nov 1738, Warwick, RI. Phebe (daughter of John WATERMAN and Anne OLNEY) was born Between 1705 and 1714; died Bef Dec 1764.

10. Waterman TIBBETTS (3.Henry2, 1.Rebecca1) was born 13 Apr 1741; died 17 Apr 1835; was buried , Brayton Cemetery, Apponaug, RI.
Notes:
Waterman Tibbitts and his wife Mercy Waterman were first cousins, both descendents of Roger Williams through his daughter Mercy, who married Resolved Waterman, whose son John Waterman married Anne Olney. Waterman's mother -- Phebe, and Mercy's father -- John, were siblings, children of John and Anne.
Waterman & Mercy joined the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich together on 16 October 1783. According to author Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, this was 20 years after he contributed money to repair the meetinghouse, and 18 years after being married by Elder Gorton. At 12 o'clock on Christmas Day 1783, there was a church meeting held at "Brother Waterman Tibbitts." Other church meetings were noted as taking place there, also. Later, on 31 April 1787, they were given letters of recommendation to Elder Thomas Manchester's church in Coventry on 31 April 1787. Waterman became clerk of this assembly, the Maple Root Baptist Church, in 1790.
According to Bamberg's notes in the book "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, Rhode Island," he was born 13 April 1741 in Warwick, RI, by his own sworn testimony. He was a lifelong resident of Warwick. His Revolutionary War service consisted of short enlistments in various alarm companies spanning two years. Town records at Warwick in 1779 listed for Waterman Tibbetts: 93 acres of land used for hay, corn, apples, wood, pasteurage, a house, barn, cider house, corn crib, and a variety of farm animals. The 1798 Direct Tax recorded a two-story home, 40' x 24', on two acres about two miles from Apponaug. The family burial plot was originally located up on the hill where Tollgate High School is now, so I imagine his farm was in that area, probably bordering Bald Hill Road.Waterman married Mercy WATERMAN 13 Dec 1764, Warwick, RI.
